What will be the story of Season 2?
The dark fantasy anime is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami. To date, 22 volumes of the manga series have been published. The author published the latest volume on March 3, 2023. The next volume is scheduled to release on July 4, 2023.
The first season comprising of 24 episodes adapted first seven volumes of the manga. Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen will take the story forward and is likely to cover the next 7 to 8 volumes.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a shonen battle anime based on the manga of author Gege Akutami. The series follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who pledges to live by the words of his dying grandfather “Always help others” and “die surrounded by people.”
The anime follows a world beyond with several supernatural aspects and cursed spirits. Season 1 follows Yuji Itadori’s first mission after his Grandfather’s passing. He investigates the curse in Miami’s old school, where students have unsealed a rotting finger. The lack of Yuji’s powers doesn’t allow him to fight against evil. Yuji ultimately consumes that finger, the thing that attracted Bane, to save Miami and others. After that, a terrific adventure follows.
The first season ended with the conclusion of the Death Painting Arc, which covers chapters 55-64 in the manga across seven volumes. If the anime continues to adapt the manga in release order, the next is Gojo’s Past Arc, which covers chapters 65-79 in the manga.
As per the official synopsis, “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will depict the story of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto’s days as Jujutsu Tech students in the ‘Hidden Inventory, Premature Death’ arcs. The story of how Gojo and Geto parted ways, which was hinted at in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, will finally be revealed. Additionally, ‘Shibuya Incident’ an arc that continues directly from Season 1, will follow after ‘Hidden Inventory, Premature Death’ in two consecutive cours.”
The Jujutsu Kaisen fans already know how intense fighting sequences this arc covers. The group of sorcerers will battle hard against the curses and other evil spirits. Also, Gojo will follow them on this top-secret mission.
